RECREATION COMES TO YOU

Recreation Programs

Recreation Comes to You (RC2U) allows campus groups to organize fitness classes, group games, team bonding, first aid courses, and more! Book the space and we provide the instructors or staff members. If you have an event or want to run weekly classes, we assist on your schedule. Or, take advantage of the spaces at the Tait McKenzie Centre and run your programs in Tait!
